Shamrocks in the Maples

This book is a personal monologue written about the times and characters of those who make up my genealogy. It is also an autobiography or, more precisely, a personal memoir. While the genealogy is as complete as I could make it, the autobiographical memoirs are not. Apart from my involvement in Irish affairs, I have limited myself largely to my childhood and very early manhood. The family and personal anecdotes will be found to be variously delightful, sad, humorous or interesting. The book’s more serious undercurrent traces the reluctance of my ancestral line to embrace any identification other than that which they brought from Ireland. While the book could have been sub-titled Growing up Irish in Quebec City, it inevitably touches upon the wider community. The last section that covers my following suit with regard to the ancestral take on Irish politics may leave some readers unsettled. The book of 160 pages entitled Shamrocks in the Maples contains maps, family photos and reference to the supporting documents researched. If you do purchase and read it, I'd appreciate your contributing a review to Amazon.
